Atoms and Molecules 2

As we discussed in the previous module, atoms are the basic building blocks of matter. Just like letters are the most fundamental units of language, atoms are the most fundamental units of everything we see around us.

You may wonder how big an atom is. Atoms are extremely tiny! How tiny? If you took 1 lakh atoms and put them next to each other, their total size would be smaller than the width of your hair!
